Their board is absolutely hilarious. You got people writing eulogies over there. One dude discussed a "talk" he had with another poster to end his fandom. Great reflection of their team, mental midgets.

When things go to shit here, what do we do? Embrace the suck. The choke is in our DNA but the dominant trait is what they don't have....

Cup winning, high level hockey.

I don't know how you, as a Florida Panthers player, have even an ounce of self confidence when you step on the ice in game 7. Maybe that's why I'm not a pro hockey player (the skills I do have obviously).

Oh and it's another two day break, lmao.

Is this the longest final in history? I can't recall one getting two day breaks like this each time.

Blatantly scripted finale with the inevitable game 7. Narrative: hockey god McJesus leading his people in the reverse sweep parade from traditional hockey market Edmonton to sunny South Florida with a historic and record shattering individual performance.

Seriously though this is one of the better SCFs of late.

I'm just glad we aren't involved in this. Lmao.

The Panthers are entirely facing a mental hurdle.

I didn't get much out of Mumford's first book, but he is legit.

I mean, this is also the most distant SCF matchup ever. I don't think the extra day off in-between is really all that egregious here.
Yeah the only real fixes are an earlier or shorter regular season (hah). The length of the final series wouldn't be as big of an issue if it wasn't so damn late.

Given the travel time between the two cities I find that the breaks are ok.
They had decided on the extra days off before they knew it would be Edmonton and Florida in the Final.

Calgary-TB finished their 2004 seven game series in two weeks.

Boston-Vancouver (2011), NYR-Vancouver (1994), Edmonton-Carolina (2006) are comparable flight lengths.


This series will only go for 16 days, but feels much longer, for some reason.

I want game 7 to end in overtime, with the most controversial goal of all time…don’t even care who wins at this point…Panthers with the greatest choke job of all time or McDavid getting so close to the Cup, only to lose in the final game and walk away with the Smythe.

I want the Panters to score in OT and get overturned like in our series when Cirelli might have breathed on Bob. Then I want the Oilers to come down the ice, cross-check Tchachuk into Bob then score in the empty net and have it hold up like in the Bruins game. I want maximum pain.

I am going to get shit for this but I still can’t pull for the Oilers, neither fanbase deserves a cup.


We will likely see riots in both cities regardless of the outcome

Me and the boys when either the Cats bottle a top 5 choke job in all of sports or when Canada loses another Cup to another southern market they think doesn't deserve a hockey team
